Do not book their rafting tour. Definitely don't be like us and maybe plan your whole trip around…read moreit? We followed all of the instructions, including being ready to check in at 10:30 at BBG's. A group of about 10 of us stayed there until 12pm and called it. Absolutely ridiculous. Multiple phone calls to the tour company with no response. I hate to leave bad reviews but this was so disappointing. We really were looking forward to this, and specifically came to Austin for tubing (versus the other idea for a trip we had which was the beach. In hindsight, we should've flown to California instead. No one would be able to forget us that way.) Other companies had their groups successfully picked up and whisked away by their tour vans. (austin detours was one). We flew here and bought a 12 pack for 2 of us and ended up lugging around cans of beer through downtown Austin for no reason. If our trip was a little bit longer this might be less disappointing. However, I couldn't recommend this company. Unless you wanted to wait an hour for zero reason at all. At least if I booked Austin detours I'd be on the river. It just makes me so sad thinking about the multiple groups of us sitting around at that bar waiting for essentially no reason and no communication. Do not. Book. The river raft.

We arrive at the pickup spot, check in, have a drink and it's all done seamlessly. Hannah was a great bus host. She's spot on keeping us informed where we are and what to do when we arrive. She goes over rules and policies related to being on the river and trespassing rules. They always do a great job and I'll be doing it again next year.

We went with a four hour rental for the first half of the day and had a great time before the sun got too hot. Brindley did a great job providing instructions, giving insight on which direction to head for more adventure vs party environment, and making sure that we could connect our music to the Bluetooth sound system. The boat had plenty of benches for everyone to sit and ample storage to keep bags and towels dry. There's plenty of parking near the dock and the staff were all eager to help carry coolers and large bags to the boat. To speed up your check in process, remind your group to complete the online waiver ahead of time and make sure all of your designated drivers have their driver's license in hand. Overall, five stars!

If you're wondering whether to book with Liquid Thrillz... stop wondering and DO IT!…read more This was our FOURTH year renting with Liquid Thrillz Boat Rentals, and somehow it just keeps getting better. We had a crew of five celebrating our birthday girl turning FIVE, and Captain Charles made sure she felt like the queen of Lake Travis! Captain Charles wasn't just our captain--he was our photographer, videographer, DJ, entertainer, and all-around memory maker. He took so many pictures and videos while we were swimming and playing that we could actually put our phones away and enjoy the day. Talk about VIP service! Huge shoutout to Gage and Parker, too! They had everything on the boat ready to go, including BRAND NEW speakers that kept the party going all day. And let's talk about that slide... according to our 5-year-old, it was the greatest invention in human history. She would have happily slid into next week if we'd let her! Captain Charles kept everything fun, safe, and stress-free while making sure we had an unforgettable day. From start to finish, the entire experience was first class, and our family made memories we'll be talking about for years. After four amazing years with Liquid Thrillz, we can honestly say they never disappoint. We'll definitely be back for Year #5, and if we have our way, Captain Charles will be our captain again! Thanks to Captain Charles, Gage, and Parker for another unforgettable day on Lake Travis!

The views in this area of the lake are amazing and not crowded. Steve and his son were very nice and welcoming as well.

We booked this boat ride for a birthday, so it was meant to be a special experience. Overall, the…read morescenery was beautiful and the ride itself was enjoyable, but there were several issues that took away from what should have been a smooth private charter experience. The communication beforehand was not great. The driver texted me the night before around 7:45 PM, and when I replied immediately with concerns about the weather and rain, I didn't receive a response until after 10 PM. The email also stated that the driver would contact us 15-30 minutes before the reservation time, but that never happened. Our reservation was from 9:00-11:00 AM. When we arrived at 9:00, no one was there, so I had to text the driver myself. He responded saying he was getting the boat ready and putting gas in it. In my opinion, those things should have been done ahead of time so guests are properly greeted and the ride can begin on time. When we boarded, the seats and boat were still wet from the rain. Since it was chilly outside, sitting in wet seats for a two-hour ride left our clothes damp and uncomfortable. To give credit where it's due, the driver was friendly and enjoyable to talk to during parts of the ride. However, he also took phone calls during the charter, which felt distracting during what was supposed to be a private birthday outing. The biggest disappointment came on the ride back. The driver stopped to assist another boat that had already said help was on the way. He tied their boat to ours and pulled them in, which significantly took away from the private experience we had paid for. While helping others is kind, it felt inappropriate during a paid private charter, especially one booked for a birthday celebration. Additionally, the trip ran later than scheduled, and there was never any communication about the delay. Our reservation was clearly scheduled for 9-11 AM, and it shouldn't be assumed guests are okay with going over time simply because the ride started late. People may have plans afterward, and communication would have gone a long way. Overall, the lake itself was beautiful and parts of the experience were enjoyable, but the lack of communication, late start, wet boat, interruptions, and detour during our private charter made the experience fall short of expectations.
